Chronic upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT) and superior vena cava syndrome (SVCS) are becoming increasingly common due to the use of indwelling catheters and implantable central venous access devices. Hypercoagulable syndromes, malignancy, extrinsic compression, tumor invasion are other reasons. Endovascular management of chronic UEDVT and SVCS is accepted as an important first- line treatment given its high overall success rate and low morbidity as compared
with medical and surgical treatments. In this case, we present successful managed by stenting of superior vena cava obstruction syndrome as a result of chronic thrombosis.
